"Work" is a 4 letter word.

So, we are on military time, here?

Hey "Alex K", what's up!?

Yes, I'm a cardiologist.

Fairly competent, according to my record.

Hearty heart heart.  I considered that at one point, but was more inclined toward ophthalmology.  As long as you're not getting sued it's working.

When I considered going into medicine for a short while, it was absolutely clear to me that I wouldn't become a surgeon. That would have been a bad, bad idea.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

Ha ha, well, every hospital has a morgue in the basement, which makes it convenient to hide the body(ies)....  I generally am dissuaded from entering any business that has a morgue in the basement, if you know what I mean.

That's the only thing I would've been.  But then I figured out that I hated hospitals and medicine in general, phew, lol! Pharmacology was my death knell, so so BORING!

Welcome aboard, Fred Hampton! Big Grin Pull up a theist and make yourself comfy! Someone will be round with the welcome cookies shortly.

Yes, I worked in the hospital morgue for a year when I was in med school. First lesson you learn: don't eat for 24 hours before your first autopsy.

My replacement didn't believe me.

Why would it be a bad idea, Alex?

I wanted to become a tree surgeon. Had to abandon the idea: I couldn't stand the sight of sap.

Dr. Valkyrie, some years after I dropped out of the medical profession and my life improved drastically, I got to thinking, "huh, I wonder how many chest shells a doc has to crack open before the "honeymoons over", the novelty wears off, the party's over, the thrill is gone, and you're just another schlock cracking chest shells open, just becomes a daily grind, just another job, like you know, plumbing?"  What say you?

Totally the opposite.
